Where can kids eat free (or really cheap!) during the 2025 Easter holidays
School’s out for Easter and if your kids are anything like mine, they’re ALWAYS hungry! But there’s only so far your budget can stretch and the Easter holidays can get expensive fast, especially when you’re trying to keep the kids entertained and fed on the go.
Luckily, loads of restaurants and cafés across the UK are offering kids eat free or have low-cost meal deals this Easter 2025 – and I’ve rounded up the best of them for you. Whether you're heading out for a day trip or just fancy a cheeky lunch out, these spots make lunchtime a bit more affordable.
Here’s where kids can eat free or cheap this Easter…

Quick tips before you head out
Offers often vary by location, so check your local restaurant first.
